OLON, Colombie, Nov. 6.—Shortly | flag of the republic of ama was formally hoisted over ecture here this morning the new and military governor, Porforio | dez, delivered an oration. He said: In the vear 1521 the population of the sthmus of Pinama severed the tie that | to the Government of Spain and | y adhered to the then mew Colombla. Neither the spon- | of this action or of many quent ones has had the effect € the governments that succeeded er at Bogota concede to the isth- re the except on paper, e same righ they had granted to the Inhubita of other Colombian sections. “Neither were the votes of the isth- mians ever taken into account s and pat in virtue whereof the | Colombla being for nor were tic aspi- | | | of revolution, nor has the revolution thus far spread to other provinces. ““The new state umes all the former treaty and legal obligations of Colombia.” The last information is regarded by the officials here as being most important, as showing no disposition on the part of the new republic of Panama to repu- diate the canal or other property rights acquired from Colombia. A few Irresponsible newspaper critics criticize the United States and show ig- norance of the French Government's po- sition by asserting that warships will be sent to Panama ‘‘to Testrain the Amerl- can plans.” These views are not shared by the Government or by the more seri- ous element of the press and public. The official sentiment is distinctly sympa- thetic to the United States. PARIS, Nov. 6—M. Jusserand, the French Embassador at Washington, promptly communicated to Foreign Min- ister Delcasse the detalls of a conversa- tion he had with Secretary of State Hay Thursday evening, in which the latter gave assurance that if the United States President’s Action Justifiable, Declares ~ Secretary Hay. o Con tinued from Page 1, Columns 4, 5 and 6.

The name of ‘New Gran- ada has passed away; its territory has been divided. But as long as the isthmus endures the great geographical fact keeps alive the solemn compact which binds the holders of the ter- ritory to grant us freedom of transit, and binds us in re- turn to safeguard for the isthmus and the world the exer- cise of that inestimable privilege. “It is therefcre too clear for discussion that when, at the repeated solicitation of the Government of Colombia, a treaty was entered into between that Government and the Unpited States for carrying into effect the long considered plan of a canal across the isthmus, to be owned and controlled by the Government of the United States, it was no new proposition that was being adopted, but rather the carrying out of a long cherished plan of both countries and the assertion of a right which had been long since conceded in principle by the Gov- ernment of Colombia. It was the universal conviction that the time had come for this gigantic project to be carried out. THE TREATY AND THE CANAL. “It was too great for individual or corporate enterprise. It could only be initiated and carried to a conclusion by a government of great power and vast resources, and the only government to which it was a possibility was that of the United States. By authorization of Congress the President entered into a treaty with the Government of Bogota for the construction of a canal by way of the isthmus of Panama. — to be hoped for in their connection with the Colombian Gov- ernment, which had never proved entirely satisfactory. They went to werk with that talent for prompt and secret organ- ization to which there is no parallel among people of North- ern bloed; they prepared the machinery of revolution in ad- vance, and suddenly, in a single day, without the firing of a shot, with the exception of a few shells that were thrown into the city from a Colombian steamer in the harbor of Pan- ama, they accomplished their independence. A government consisting of the leading citizens of the State was at once or- ganized and proclaimed to the world, a part of the Colombian forces joined the revolution; the rest returned to Colombia and, so far as we are able to judge; the new republic begins its career with no organized opposition throughout the entire extent of the isthmus. PRECEDENT SUPPORTS OUR STAND. “The course of the President in this conjunction was marked out in advance by all our principles and precedents. He gave orders that traffic from one side of the isthmus to the other should be kept unimpeded by either party and charged our officers on the isthmus to use their utmost in- fluence to prevent any attack by one of the contending fac- tions upon the other which would be calculated to cause a disturbance of traffic. When it was reported to him that a government capable of maintaining order had been established and was working without opposition, he did what is always done under such circumstances.

Colombians Declined to Advance on American Soldiers. NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The Panama Rallway and Steamship Company and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company have received dispatches from Panama con- | firming the reports of the evacuation of | Colon by the Colombian troops. The ad- vices received by the Panama Company give additional particulars of how nar- rowly a conflict between the American | marines from the gunboat Nashville and | the Colombian troops under Colonel | Abajos was avoided According to the dispatch the marines were landed in the morning and threw up | intrenchments near the steamship pier. They were further protected by freight cars near the trenches. Some 400 Colom- | bian troops were drawn up near the American lines and things looked threat- ening for the handful of Americans. Col- onel Abajos jumped out before his troops and ordered them to advance on the Americags. The Colombians had no de- sire toe impale themselves on the ba nets of the marines and refused to ad- nce. They retreated and were fol- lowed by the fire-eating commander after he had broken his sword across his knee, Fifty American residents of Panama had | been armed he meantime and the lieu- tenant in command of the marines sent word to the Colombian camp that while men were there simply to protect American property, they had no intention of dodging any trouble that might come their way.

He said an annual distribution of | the 30 per cent of the customs would be unfair to the allied powers, which had incurred great military expense, Mr. Richards held that the negotiations looking to raising the blockade having | been conducted between Venezuela ang | the other biockading powers, the other | powers which took no part in the block- ade could not object to preference being | given to the former claims.

Dimmick, now serving a term of imprisonment in the peniten- tiary for stealing $20,000 from the United States Mint, was unable to pay the costs of the record in the case in order to ap- peal to the Supreme Court of the United States, and made motion that costs be rescinded. United States District Attorney Wood- worth opposed the granting of the mo- tion and remarked that Mr. Dimmick had been proved gullty of the theft of $30,000 and that he must have been very wasteful with the money if he had none of it left. He could not be considered a pauper un- der the clrcumstances, continued Mr. ‘Woodworth.

The examiners maintain that the Supervisors have been too lib- eral, as Shasta’s clalms amount to much more than many better populated coun- ties. The letter reads in part; “It is not the intention to furnish aid to all or- phans, but simply to those whose mis- fortune or need requires it.” ——— Aberdeen Merchants Feel Aggrieved.

It was reported that the latter had arrived at Buena Ventura, but later the report s contradicted. ';Inrly all the municipalties of the isth- mus have now joined the republic. General Guiterez, who arrived yesterday at Colon and who came to replace Gov- ernor Obaldia, brought with him several secretaries and a staff of fifteen, all Co- lombians, to replace the Isthmians. This, it is pointed out here, shows how Panama was considered at Bogota. As up to late yesterday afternoen the Colombian troops at Colon had not de- cided to leave the city, a division of troops of .the republic of Panama was or- dered to attack them and was-on its way when a telegram announced the departure from Coloh of the royal mail steamer Orinoco with the Colombian troops. Gen- eral Tovar and staff, who had been quar- tered here, did not have time to leave, as the steamer would not walt. When the news of the departure qf the Colombian troops became known here the enthusiasm became unlimited. Thousands of persons, with flags, torches and fire- ‘works, headed by two bands of music, marched through the town. As the procession passed the United States _Consulate Star-Spangled Banner” was played and the crowds cheer- ed wildly for the United States, President Roosevelt, Commander Hubbard of the Nashville, Secretary Hay and Acting Consul General Ehrman.
